The 1 to 10 coins cohort, for example, includes all investors owning between 1 and 10 ETH. In the context of the current topic, the group of interest is the one pertaining to a range of 0 to 0.01 ETH. The upper limit of the range is a relatively small one, so it provides a representation of the retail hands present on the Ethereum network.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a chart that shows the trend in the ETH Supply Distribution for the 0 to 0.01 coins group over the past year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/HF5YahPXAAAxLTp?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"Ethereum Retail Traders\" width=\"3033\" height=\"1702\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As displayed in the graph, the small Ethereum holders participated in accumulation between April and December 2025. In this window, they collectively added 6,195 ETH to their holdings, representing a jump of 4.1%. Most of the buying came alongside an uptrend in the price, but retail traders still continued to accumulate even after the bearish shift in the last quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>This trend flipped in January, however, indicating that the lack of a bullish return started causing an exodus from the 0 to 0.01 cohort. For most of 2026, the selloff from retail investors has been a gradual one, but as is apparent from the chart, a sharp plunge in the cohort&#8217;s Supply Distribution has occurred alongside the recent price recovery.<\/p>\n<p>In just the past two days, members of the group have parted with 1,791 ETH. Given this trend, it would appear that the retail traders don&#8217;t believe this bullish momentum will last, so they are using it for taking their profits. If history is anything to go by, though, this development may not entirely be a negative one for Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>Often, digital asset markets tend to move in the direction that goes contrary to the crowd opinion. &#8220;The crowd believes this +17% pump since March 29th is a bull trap, which strengthens the likelihood of this bullish momentum continuing,&#8221; explained Santiment.<\/p>\n<p>It now remains to be seen whether the 0 to 0.01 ETH cohort will see its profit-taking spree continue in the coming days and if the Ethereum rally will be able to march on.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH Price<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum has recovered back to the $2,340 mark following its surge over the last couple of days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/mCRheaSr\/\" alt=\"Ethereum Price Chart\" width=\"1378\" height=\"927\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On-chain data shows the small Ethereum hands have sold into the latest price surge, a sign that retail traders don&#8217;t believe that the rally will last.
